4. Housing and Urban Development:

The establishment of the SCR is poised to unlock new avenues of development for Lucknow and its surrounding districts, contributing to regional prosperity. This initiative by the state government is expected to not only enhance basic facilities but also stimulate regional economic growth.
“Many individuals from various cities are eager to settle here permanently, leading to increased population pressure in the surrounding districts. There are frequent complaints about unplanned development. To address future needs, an ‘Uttar Pradesh State Capital Region’ should be established similar to the National Capital Region (NCR),” he stated.
